Listen together Read aloud by Genevieve · 15 seconds

These are my hands, they help each day,

They put my toys and books away.

They stir the soup and pat the cat,

They wave hello and tip my hat.

Clap, clap, clap, they do so much,

Helping hands with a gentle touch.

Talk about it together

How do your hands help at home?

Tip: read it again tomorrow. Children often enjoy saying the last word of each line once the poem feels familiar.
